Classy, warm, savvy, compassionate, timely, Louise Livesay understood me and the needs of my process, emotional, legal, and financial. My ex and I created an unusual resolution, using the collaborative process to generate a decree which fit our situation but deviated from norms. Louise gave me the feedback I needed to understand where and how our choices were deviating, while also support me and my choices. This was not an easy process, but I had the space to be me and not be left high and dry at any difficult moment. I want to give special attention to something I experienced with Louise; she was equally able to bring a compassionate warm emotional presence AND a sharp legal presence and understanding of the financials that never once demeaned the other professionals as she made sure that the facts were straight at the group table (when they weren't.) Any explanation which was needed was given respectfully and with clarity. My first meeting with her was good, and she brought more to the table than I knew I'd need. Thank you, Louise, Livesay Law Office and The Law Shop Minnesota.
